You can tell whereabouts a Mk V was manufactured from the 11th character of the chassis number. For example, a "W" in WVWZZZ1KZ5W888888 would indicate that the Mk V was manufactured in Wolfsburg, Germany. Other codes are:


W: Wolfsburg, Germany
U: South Africa

Its all the same, some VWs are made in Mexico and they are fine too. Its all about them being engineered by a bunch of germans with their intolerance to any deviation from mathematecal perfection. As long as the engineers are german thats all that is important.

No worries cause south african car plants like the one that makes the 3 series has great reputations for quality! Either way it looks like we can't go wrong.

Any problems with your Jetta at all? Is there any truth to what people think about cars assembled in mexico having more problems?
